Blog Hits 4 Jesus


According to the Supreme Court’s decision in Morse v. Frederick, a high school student could be disciplined for holding a banner reading “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS.” Justice Alito’s swing vote included the caveat that the holding “provides no support for any restriction of speech that can plausibly be interpreted as commenting on any political or social issue.”

Doesn’t this mean that all future banners reading “BONG HiTS 4 JESUS” are now protected speech, since they can be plausibly be interpreted as commenting on the Supreme Court’s free speech jurisprudence? Other pro-drug messages may be punished, but not this particular one.
